Is that it?
I have been reading everywhere, Linux is giving the user freedom = the
freedom to customize all sorts of things.
A thousand times already the tiniest little change (customization) I
"implemented" - probably did wrong anyway -
sent the entire system over the edge and unless you are a computer
specialist ( I am clearly NOT), the ONLY way
to restore something more normal is to reinstall everything.
I have done this (more precisely was forced to) quite literally a
hundred times or more.
No offense, but this is A LOT more unstable and troublesome than the
much despised MS stuff.

Right now, I am trying to reinstall LibreOffice (after trying to
"completely" removing it).
If that does not work .. it may be time to switch to the reinstall plan.
Or is there still hope?
